Having a good defence, and being able to defend powerful smashes is VERY important in badminton! So hopefully this video helps you master your defence 🏸💥 PS. We're not liable for any damage to your court or body (6:05) 🤣
love to see the editing features like at 0:20 and new content, shows grey and jenny are here to provide valuable insight. cant wait for your next video!
I really needed this. It arrived just at the right time! You're surely a The Simpson's worker! You predict my thoughts too well and accurately😅 awesome video as always
Thank you both, very helpful as usual, which breakdown the checkpoints for good defence and the idea of even pre and post defence. Cannot wait to try it out in tonight's game.
I watched you guys' videos on good defence, and I am greatly improved, especially with the tips about short swings. My friend wondered how I defend their powerful smash, haha.. won't tell them this secret. Yet, I am having another problem with defense which is I tend to lose the shuttle while moving backwards, this video might save me later. I will try to implement your advice on this.
Another great video from both you! :) :) :) I've been recommending your videos to the beginners of our club!! :) Also, can't wait for your collab with Linus :) :)
Thank You so much!I have a friend who can do Jump Smashes extremely well and needed this, also can you make a video about timing all shots, like a video with how to do every shot that has time stamps, I know it’s a big request but please do it
Very useful tips, especially the positioning of your feet. The other thing also helpful is not to lift the smash returns half court, as this would invite even more steeper and powerful smashes. Returning the smash like a drive so that the opponent does not have the opportunity to smash again.
hi! would you consider making more racquet reviews? it would be a great addition to the variety of your content and i enjoyed a bit of your racquet reviews. maybe you can?
I could assess when playing games who has the best attack and try to minimise their attacking opportunity, especially if a player has a good smash. Try not to give him smashing opportunities or a lift right at the back, as if he smashes from the rear court, I can counter-attack it because the shuttle travels slower and it gives me time to counter attack if the smashe is not directed properly. He could be in trouble by smashing from the rear of the court if the shots are not carefully placed.
Hey guys, it was great to meet you in guernsey - the training was great and I really feel like I’ve improved in both drives and smashes! You were both so genuine and friendly, as in your videos, which is great to see in a world of fake RUclipsrs nowdays. Thanks again guys, your training really did help me improve and was super fun
Good vide and helpful tips. A couple of things you missed though: - Lifting center is actually good - or at least better than you make it seem, as it reduces any cross court angles your opponent could hit. MS player Chen Long often did this and it's partly why he was able to return so many smashes. If you lift to a corner the angle can be very acute towards the other corner making it hard to defend against. However if you lift to the center, the angle will be less acute making the incoming smash easier to block. Even if this does require slightly quicker reactions, cutting 50% of your opponent's angles is huge for defense. - A good baseline level of hand-eye co-ordination and delicate racket control is needed to apply the tips in this video. If you are not naturally gifted with both, it'll be nigh on impossible (if not totally impossible) to apply the tips given in this video.
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️ As we said at the start of the video, this is aimed at doubles players, so lifting to the centre definitely isn’t a good option because then it isn’t clear to either player who should cover the middle! Hope that makes sense!
Parts of the technique definitely can be applied to singles yes, especially when you have played a short lift and your opponent is about to hit a powerful smash! However this video is more doubles focussed. In singles you have to cover the whole of the court so the technique and tactics are different.

👏👏👏 Wait… Relax? I get tense lol 🙈 its at its worst in tournaments! How can I counter them? Tension always ruins my progress especially when I am trying to execute my lethal weapon! My high serve is fine though! 😃 SMASHING video! 🤪 (Pun intended) 😂
I always struggle to lift high at the back of the court so I return with flat drive but since I always do that my oppenent can read it easily so there's always someone waiting in front of the net to kill it.😅
Haha I did watch it, it was a great video but I was just wondering about the non-badm strengthening part. Do you guys use a grip squeezer, swing a squash racket, heavy racket, or beer bottle around to strengthen the fingers and thumb?
I don't know why, but even if I hit a good lift, they smash and immediately lose a lot of power. Also, why, even when I follow the right technique, my clears aren't going to the back?
Clearly not following right technique if you have the right control and right strings lifts are easy as come on dude. Just play and don’t want these videos, I’ve gotten like regional level just playing and watching BWF I barely watch any coaches of videos like this they make people overthink too much

New court ❤ Congratulations to you
Thank you! Do you like the new court? 😃
Bevel grip for defense at forehand side is the best advice that people seldom talk about
I could assess when playing games who has the best attack and try to minimise their attacking opportunity, especially if a player has a good smash. Try not to give him smashing opportunities or a lift right at the back, as if he smashes from the rear court, I can counter-attack it because the shuttle travels slower and it gives me time to counter attack if the smashe is not directed properly.

@@BadmintonInsight I suppose that's true. I was thinking about singles too for some reason lol
Thanks Alot! IF u hadnt posted this my brother wouldve cooked me in badminton even More Lol
love from Bangladesh💜

Can this applied to singles play as well ??
Parts of the technique definitely can be applied to singles yes, especially when you have played a short lift and your opponent is about to hit a powerful smash!
However this video is more doubles focussed. In singles you have to cover the whole of the court so the technique and tactics are different.

Could you please make a video on how to make longer rallies please 🙏🏻
how high should i keep my racket in mens doubles defence? My coach says roughly around tape hight but this dosent always seem realistic.
What about for flat smashes at the face or uper body?
Your at Cheshire ❤❤
@badmintoninsight Can you Upload more clips of your no lift practice games looks really fun.
We can try to! Maybe on our Instagram - badminton.insight 🏸
YAY FINNALLY I NEW VIDEO!
🎉 Hope you enjoyed it!
@@BadmintonInsight OF COURSE I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
@@Thug657-brawlstars yay 😃😃
@@BadmintonInsightyour vlogs are the best too! And i actually needed this video my defence is very bad😅
Love from india
👏👏👏 Wait… Relax? I get tense lol 🙈 its at its worst in tournaments! How can I counter them?
Tension always ruins my progress especially when I am trying to execute my lethal weapon!
My high serve is fine though! 😃
SMASHING video! 🤪 (Pun intended) 😂
Yo ty for the tips i just won my first tournament
Awesome! Congratulations 🥳

Eh! my boy Edwin was in the middle 1:05
Thanks for the coaching session, sounds tiring!
Wow
You guys should visit Philippines
NO WAY!! THATS WHERE I PLAY BADMINTON!
new background court has been shown 👀! will we be seeing more of this background in the future?
Yes, it's our new filming courts 😃🎥
I noticed you guys were not your Victor Thruster F??
Time to assign this video to be watched by members of my grade 8 badminton team.
I always struggle to lift high at the back of the court so I return with flat drive but since I always do that my oppenent can read it easily so there's always someone waiting in front of the net to kill it.😅
First one to like the video
Thanks 😃
You should make a video on how to train finger power
We already have 😃 check out our ‘how to use the wrist in badminton’ video!
Haha I did watch it, it was a great video but I was just wondering about the non-badm strengthening part. Do you guys use a grip squeezer, swing a squash racket, heavy racket, or beer bottle around to strengthen the fingers and thumb?
Greg's acting skills are getting better day by day 0:44
🤣🤣
Playing consistently is improving my defense . But i often fumble when they hit a smash on my body, specifically on my chest . Any help ?
Racket up block it don’t have your racket down.
@@benj4840 i tried that too but i doesn`t have enough power and the opponent was easily able to play a kill shot.
First view and first comment 😊❤
Hi
This should get many likes 😞
I don't know why, but even if I hit a good lift, they smash and immediately lose a lot of power. Also, why, even when I follow the right technique, my clears aren't going to the back?

Just play and don’t want these videos, I’ve gotten like regional level just playing and watching BWF I barely watch any coaches of videos like this they make people overthink too much
You could try block or cross blocking
I'm still confused about changing my grip on the racket between smash and backhand.
Greg doing the video even with cold
Haha, was it obvious?! 🥴
fyi Belli!!
guilty of most of them
I like doubles
Us too 😆
What is the biggest smasher that you guys have played against in a match?
Ooo, I would say Zheng Siwei and Robin Tabeling both have pretty big smashes 💥
Next video: World record for fastest legal badminton serve.
I got hit by a powerful smash beside the neck and it hurt😂
😂 we’ve all been there! I (Greg) got one filming this video haha
y
First 2 minute
Please! No one go starting fires on badminton courts! It would be a very very bad idea!
😂😂 we don’t have enough of them as it is!
Learn badminton for years, still being beaten by dad
Oh no! Keep trying 💪🏼
Do you mirror the video or were you playing right handed?!
Haha 🤫
first
The gordonramsay is still strong in you
😆😆
Without a strong defence you have no chance playing doubles.
It becomes quite hard yes 😆
First?
Congrats 🎉
You're both left-handed. Did you mirror some parts of the video? You're playing too well with your non-playing hand there.
Yes we do as most of you are right handed so it’s easier to follow 😃
@@BadmintonInsight
I thought so. :)
How to defend a high shot if you are short
I always struggled with this, thanks alot
Happy to help! 🎉
